The Letter.
Can anyone explain to me the significance of the letter concluding the book? Is it an actual fan letter or did Chuck just throw it in there for shits and giggles? Or is this the letter that inspired Chuck to create the novel? Anyone have answers to any of my questions? Just curious.
i reckon it's just a device to keep you wondering... i think Chuck wrote it himself and it's there to create a little more intrigue... did it really happen?
I think its pretty cliche the whole letter thing but I think that Nora is the fourth body that the spirit has taken after misty dies in the masolium and she found the diary that misty left on the mainland (she did so before the fire if i remeber correctily) and now the fourth spirit is writing to chuck
It does say to forward the letter on to Chuck's editor, "Lars Lindigket" or something, which isn't Chuck's real editor.
The letter's from Misty. If you look at the address of the sender, it's the place where we're told she grew up, and as I think she says at the end of the book, she wants to let everyone in the world know what happened so that it doesn't happen again.
Misty says towards the end when she is on the island after the fire that she is going to change her name and move out. She also mentions how there is no place on the island that she could leave her diary so that it will be found and the information distributed. So the name on the letter is her alias she has adopted and by sending the diary to be turned into a novel, she is ensuring that her story is distributed to the masses.
Yea thats what i thought... she said she is changing her name and moving back to the trailor park... and thats what the letter is...
Chuck is making out that it got sent to him to publish, by Misty... cos they would find it on the island, so she couldnt leave it anywhere, the only thing she could do to make sure that the next 'Misty' found it, is to make sure everyone can read it...
If you no what i meen 
The people that mind dont matter, and the people that matter dont mind...
Misty states, "There is no place on this island where I can hide this Diary where the citizens won't find it." She also says that she will change her name and move to Teushma Lake, Georgia. (I don't remember the exact town.) Anyway, Nora IS Misty, Nora is just what she changed her name to. In the letter she writes that she wants a little girl who is an artist to find this book, and she wants this book to change that little girl's life. This letter is Misty's way of hiding the Diary for her furture self to find it and not make the same mistakes.
However, if every reincarnation of Misty makes the EXACT same descisions, then is there any chance that this letter/book plan of her's will work? Or maybe the islanders were already expecting it.
You know, I always wondered the same thing, but as I didn't have an awesome-o site of Chuck fans to ask back then, I just forgot.
Here's a bump in hopes this question gets answered.
